Force

Back

A push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

Distance

Back

The amount of space an object moves in a particular direction.

Front

Energy

Back

The ability to do work or cause change.

Back

The unit of work and energy; 1 joule = 1 newton-meter.

Front

Watt (W)

Back

The unit of power; 1 watt = 1 joule per second.

Front

Newton (N)

Back

The unit of force; 1 newton = 1 kg·m/s².
